    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    I owe everybody an update! After wearing THE BOOT for most of a week and then slowly adding activity back, my odd toe pain has seemed to go away. WOOHOO! My sports doc cleared me to start ramping miles back up. I've seen Dr. BF Mike, and am seeing him again on Saturday. I definitely don't...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    Thanks - I don't recall on the x-ray if my second metatarsal was longer than my first, but my second toe doesn't stick out further than my first (see attached). I took the attached photo early on in my foot pain - if you note, my big toe gap is smaller on my right foot than my left. I didn't...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    The MRI came back showing no stress fracture (yay!) but with absolutely no indication of what might be causing my pain (boo!) ... doc cleared me to take my boot off to lift weights as long as it doesn't hurt, but no running yet and I'm not really sure what next steps are.

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    Awesome! I just sent your office an email to see if my insurance will work. I'm down for trying anything at this point...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    Howdy! I agree, the boot does seem like a good idea. Maybe a few days of complete isolation with the boot will let everything heal up. I did not know about the extra sesamoid before he pointed it out on the x-ray and then wiggled it around a little bit so I could feel it. It's below my...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    I had an eventful morning! Here's what the doc finally said: "Possibilities include metatarsal irritation, stress fracture, sesmoditis and early neuroma" and "Please wear the boot when up and walking until we discuss MRI results and no running of any kind. Stretching, especially hamstring...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    Thanks! I actually live about an hour from NW Foot & Ankle, but their appointments are always months out and, unfortunately, aren't covered well by insurance. I may have to go out of pocket depending on what my HMO says, though... I'll let you know. I won't be getting any injections tomorrow.

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    I now feel like I know a lot more, at least - but I'm not sure I know more about what's going on with me. I have an appointment with a sports doc tomorrow morning. I'm hoping he doesn't freak out when my running shoes are a pair of VFFs and will actually look at the problem rather than...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    I read some of your posts yesterday while doing some research. Thanks for taking the time to respond! The pain does not increase as my distance increases. Quite to the contrary, the pain decreases during my first mile or two and then drops off to nothing until after my run when some pain...

    Toe Pain - Morton's Neuroma?

    Howdy- I'm suffering from some toe pain and metatarsal pain and am wondering if I'm dealing with Morton's Neuroma or something else - and looking for advice on how to continue training for my first marathon coming up in seven weeks. I'll start with symptoms and then go to back story. I'm...
